This 18th-century engraving by Johann Ernst Mansfeld, titled "Portret van Wolfgang Christoph von Uiberacker," depicts the subject in a classical style. The portrait showcases Uiberacker in a bust-length composition, with his right hand resting on a book. The inscription surrounding the oval frame identifies him as "Wolf Christoph Graf von Uiberacker," indicating his title and lineage. The inclusion of a coat of arms in the lower right corner further reinforces his aristocratic status. This artwork is an example of portrait engraving, popular in the 18th century, and reflects the artist's skill in capturing both physical likeness and social standing.
